No doubt Johnny. I have been scrambling to get it all done and it's still going to be last minute before I get confirmation on my license. I had to go cough for the doc today...and was very lucky to get an appointment for that. Way more challenge than I thought.

I should have done some SCCA stuff earlier! I guess my last race with them in 1996 doesn't count.

Hey Jaime, I just think a number of us think Kyles got skills and for me it's sad he doesn't have the $ but it happens

So maybe pass the hat to collect to get him in a ride but a little late now. Maybe still NASA.

 

I know what you mean, I was lucky to have a Dr friend sign me off, but I do get yearly checks.

So see you TH at the end of the month?

Come on Ron. Put that Kyle L. kid back in your car and bring it! I'll throw in a tire for the corner of your choice.

 

awwwwwww hellzzzz yeah

 

Its here for the asking! Well at least the next event...it will be occupied this weekend!  Another driver will try and see if he can beat up the 19yr old motor!! A few have tried but all have failed! Average to good power seems to last forever! And with a good wheel man it seems to stay near the front!

Six cars up front in the lead back through the early stages. Kyle Kaiser’s metallic blue No. 88 Miata was the first of the lead group to fall back when he spun, and with two to go it was down to Charlie Hayes, Tyler Vance, Brian Ghidinelli and Joey Jordan.

 

Hayes, in the 22 TFB/AIM Tires/RM Autosports Miata, and Vance, in the No. 85 TMG/RM Autosports/Sparco Miata, were racing hard to hold the top spot when they went side by side, and then off the track, in turn nine on the way to the one to go board. Both Ghidinelli and Jordan took advantage of the off to move into the lead and begin the final lap.

 

Ghidinelli kept Jordan behind him for the final circuit, and entered the last turn conscientiously reminding himself not to overcook the corner. With that in mind, Ghidinelli’s No. 12 RaceHero.io/MotorsportReg.com Mazda Miata probably slowed too much, and Jordan got a run up the front straight to the finish. It was too little, too late for Jordan’s No. 47 Minxnails.com/Protomotive Miata, and Ghidinelli crossed the stripe in front by less than a car length.

Thanks bench.  FYI Charlie will post, but from my perspective and after watching the in car camera from joey's car.  

 

The Start was a bit wild with cars 3 wide going into the first turn.....with Elliot slowing on the outside It was Hayes leading Southerland Kaiser and then 3 wide with Brian G Joey Jordan in the middle and Droenen on the outside.  When Elliot slowed it boxed in Droenen Coming out of turn 2 it was Hayes Sutherland, Kaiser AND Tilley side by side and Jordan Brian G Vance a few car lengths back.  Into turn 5 Kaiser came down on Tilley clipping tilleys nose who and Jordan touched Tilleys  as he spun out of it.  The front 3 now had 3 car lengths to Jordan,Brian G and Vance.

 

Thats all I have time for now, but at the end..it was Sutherland(not Tyler Vance)  who went for Hayes going into turn 9 and locked it up and both he and Hayes went off the track to open the door for Brian G, Jordan and Vance to take the top 3 spots.


Joe Jordan the turd.....Joey is IV or quatro!

Ran in Firestone Firehawk in a Miata in 1994

Speedvision Cup Miata's 95-99

Not sure if you listening live but there were 2 announcers, 1st half, 2nd half of the race.

 

The 1st announcer said they were coming up on lap traffic and was saying what was happening, then the 2nd took over around then kind of read the monitor.

 

Barrett Tilley tried a move and got freight trained back to 14th

Kyle Kaiser was up in 3rd ? and dropped back.

Mark Drennen was moving up.

 

Would also be nice if they posted Sundays races in the results at some point.

The second announcer was a tab better than the first, hope both were doing as a volunteer experience.

 

The three cars I made reference to were Tilly, Kaiser and Jordan which all fell rearward during lap 15. Did Jordan have an issue that continued?
